The sheriff’s department has two programs, work release and GED. The work'Telease program is one where if an inmate is needed by his employer, he may be released during the day to work, but must return to the jail after work, thus helping to keep his family off of welfare. There is a ( limit of 12 persons allowed on the program and Sheriff Robinson reported there is always a waiting list. The GED program allows prisoners the privilege of taking courses to advance their education, and related an instance of when one inmate was able to move from a sixth grade education to a ninth grade level.

WHICH ONE WILL BE MAYOR? — The 1987 Syracuse Mayoral Race has officially begun and the eight candidates will spend the next nine weeks raising as much money as they can with the person raising the most money being named "Mayor” of Syracuse. The Mayoral Race is being held in conjunction with the Syracuse Sesquicentennial with all proceeds from the Mayor’s Race going towards the celebration. The candidates and their sponsors met Monday evening to receive instructions on the race and to receive savings accounts at the three area banks. Persons wishing to give donations to the candidate of their choice may do so at the appropriate banks. The race will end June 20

Mayor's rdce underway

"There are two main goals, to raise money for the sesquicentennial celebration and to have a lot of fun,” stated Jim Evans, cochairman for the Syracuse Mayoral Race, at a meeting Monday evening for the candidates and their sponsors. The meeting officially opened the race which will end June 20 with a dinner banquet. Evans and Bob Westfall, chairm.en, stated this race could be the biggest thing that has ever happened in Syracuse and one of the candidates could be the only mayor Syracuse ever has. A point which the chairmen urged the candidates to keep in mind was to keep the race in the spirit of fun. The eight candidates or their sponsors were present to receive instructions on their race and to receive bank designations for their campaign accounts. Evans remarked the mayoral committee has a goal of $20,000 and cannot see why it shouldn’t be met. The mayor, the one collecting the most dollar votes, and the city council members, the four runner-ups, will be announced at the dinner banquet to be held in the American Legion Hall on June 20. Evans stated 350 tickets for the banquet are available and may be used by candidates to raise money. The tickets are $lO each.

Westfall stated the annual Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Bike-A-Thon can be used by candidates in which 70 percent of what an individual raises in pledges, for a specified group, is returned to that group. Among the instructions given to those present, Evans and Westfall stated money can be raised by any legal means and if there is a doubt of a fundraiser’s eligibility the mayoral committee should be consulted. "There may be things which come up no one thought of. We’re flexible and reasonable,” commented Evans. The designation of banks for accounts was conducted through a drawing by the candidates. Each candidate has an account at one of the three banks in Syracuse and people are able to stop by that bank and deposit their donations to the candidate of their choice. It was pointed out that each candidate is allowed to monitor the account balance only and that no member of the
